Sometimes I have corn chips. But mostly I have found that if you will just stay away from processed foods (namely go paleo), you will lose weight and feel 100 times better.
The gluten is what my springboard was, but now its actually secondary to issues with processed foods.
I like this article, I have found I relate my struggle and eventual resolutions to it. I lost 35lbs. But its way more about how I feel, my skin, my general mood, and my focus.

And congrats on the weight loss. |
Thanks and congrats to you as well. I think the ultimate rule is, do what works best for you and your body. I find this diet fits my lifestyle well compared to other types of healthy eating I have tried, you seem to have found yours. I agree with avoiding processed foods, the chemicals in them are horrible.

True, the first week I am sure I lost a lot of water weight. I am drinking 4L a day though, so that should be sufficient and I meant I lost mostly fat because keto is a muscle-sparing diet (and visually, I can see a major difference while not feeling like I lost muscle).

Actually, IMO it's very healthy. Our bodies have not adapted yet through evolution towards agriculture. We are still very much "cave men" and they ate high fats, proteins and very little carbs. A few seasonal berries and the like was about it.
Or, look at vikings and/or eskimos. When you are at sea the majority of your time, or living in frozen lands, agriculture isn't really something on your mind.
